Listing description

56 South Maple Street presents a compelling real estate opportunity in Kutztown, combining traditional residential comfort with substantial investment upside. Situated on a level lot backing directly up to the local community park, this two-story semi-detached home offers a generous 1,636 square foot layout designed for versatile living or high-yield rental configurations. The main level features an expansive kitchen with abundant wooden cabinetry, alongside a bright rear addition that serves as an expanded living space. This addition conveniently houses a main-floor full bath with a stand-up shower and a dedicated laundry area with the washer and dryer included. Upstairs, the second level hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub and shower combo, plus access to a spacious walk-up attic for extra storage or future conversion. The full basement provides robust utility setups, including an updated electrical panel, an electric water heater, a water softener, and a forced-air furnace. Outdoor highlights include a covered front porch, an attached covered carport for off-street parking, and a former garage enclosed into a functional exterior storage room. For investors, this property offers outstanding value-add potential within Kutztown Borough's commercial zoning district overlay, opening doors for prospective commercial or mixed-use applications. Proximity to local amenities and Kutztown University ensures reliable rental demand, while the solid structural framework allows buyers to build fast equity through simple cosmetic refreshers like paint and modern flooring. For added protection, the seller is offering a one-year America's Preferred Home Warranty.

School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Berks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
